Chapter 986 Hello

The California coastal road during off-duty hours is naturally congested, and Eric's car drove into the Sharp Point Manor before six o'clock.

Looking at the Shell Villa that was getting closer, Eric suddenly regretted that he had agreed to meet so easily in the first place, and only realized how embarrassing and weird it was when it came to an end. Although he inherited the memory of this body and even some emotions, it was impossible for him to recognize a mother he had never met.

The car stopped slowly on the small square in front of the villa, and Carter Moen, who drove by himself, glanced at Eric through the rearview mirror without urging him. A few years have passed, and he has been regarded as Eric's confidant, so he naturally knows what happened today.

After waiting quietly for a while, the villa door opened, and several women came out together. Eric had to get out of the car and greeted him.

Olivia Wilson, walking between Caroline and Melanie, is the woman in a black shirt that Eric saw at the London premiere of "Casino Royale". Today, the other party is still wearing a well-cut black shirt, but has changed into light gray trousers. Recalling that he took the initiative to sign the other party's name on a banknote, Eric felt even more strange.

When he came to the front, Eric didn't know how to speak for a while. The woman's eyes were still the same as when he first saw him, and he looked at Eric with a little daze.

Melanie stood behind the woman, trying to pretend she wasn't there. Caroline was holding her aunt, and seeing that she and Eric didn't speak, the girl took the initiative to say: "Eric, this, this is my aunt."

Eric hesitated and stretched out his hand to the other party: "Hello, ... ma'am."

The woman looked at Eric's outstretched hand, and her original anxiety fell. She is a strong-tempered woman, but she is still afraid that her children will ask herself a series of why when they meet. The current situation is much better than she imagined. She didn't expect Eric to call her a certain name when she saw her for the first time. She forced a smile, reached out and shook hands with Eric, and said, "Eric, you can call me Jane."

Jane (jane) is the middle name of the woman in front of her, which Eric naturally knows.

Nodding vaguely, Eric said, "Then let's go in."

Everyone walked towards the villa together, Eric walked side by side with the woman, and asked, "Well, what are you going to have for dinner?"

"Eric, my aunt has prepared dinner herself, and it will be ready soon." Caroline originally wanted to walk between her aunt and Eric. After thinking about it, she gave up, but on the other side, the bird was still holding Looking at his aunt, at this time, he pointed out his little head and said as if asking for credit.

"Oh, thanks."

Olivia Wilson listened to the conversation between the two, but felt a faint feminine scent coming from Eric, and she suddenly felt that it should be from a, um, mature woman.

Olivia Wilson recognized this as her son from the moment Eric rose to prominence in Hollywood. Over the years, she has been silently paying attention to everything about Eric, and naturally she can read some gossip rumors about Eric from some magazines.

Thinking of this, Olivia Wilson burst out with sadness and guilt.

The twins opened the glass door of the villa one by one and walked into the hall of the villa. Olivia Wilson stopped and said softly, "Eric, you must be tired after working all day, why don't you go take a shower first? Take a shower."

"Well, okay," Eric nodded subconsciously, and he also wanted to escape this somewhat awkward relationship, even for a while: "Then, see you later."

After speaking, Eric nodded to several women again, turned and walked upstairs.

Looking at the big boy who seemed to be running away with a bit of fling behind him, Olivia Wilson smiled and said to the twins: "Natasha, Eve, go and help Eric prepare a set of clothes, the kitchen We can do it by ourselves."

"Okay, ma'am," the twins agreed,

Obediently walked towards the stairs.

When Eric and the twins went upstairs, Olivia Wilson pulled Caroline beside him: "Come on, Carly, you should give your cousin some credit."

Caroline shook her aunt's arm reluctantly, and said coquettishly, "Aunt, you are starting to favor Eric now. He is actually very bad."

"Heh, he must have treated you very well these years, right, or else you wouldn't be so determined to stay by his side."

After Olivia Wilson finished saying this, Melanie, who had been silent, couldn't help nodding her head, and secretly complained with some grievances in her heart: It's great, I just feel sorry for this girl.

"He," Caroline wrinkled her nose and said, "He actually already knew that I was his cousin."

Olivia Wilson was stunned, touched Caroline's little face lovingly, and said, "Silly girl, if this kind of thing falls to others, it may be very bad for you, how can it be true? I will take care of you like a sister."

Although Caroline has a simple temperament, she is definitely not an idiot. On the contrary, she is actually much smarter than most people. It's just that, because of her kind personality, she never thinks about a person or a thing in a bad way. However, this doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything. When her aunt said so, she will naturally be able to figure it out very quickly.

Walking towards the kitchen with her aunt, after hesitating, Caroline asked cautiously, "Aunt, why did you leave back then?"

Olivia Wilson paused, and immediately returned to normal. She didn't answer Caroline's question, but said softly, "Auntie is a cowardly woman, Carly, you must never imitate me in the future, boy you like, Just hold on tight and ignore what other people think."

"Well," Caroline nodded slightly, resting her head on Olivia's shoulder, and said, "Aunt, I like Eric."

After soaking in the bathtub comfortably for a while, knowing that it is impossible to hide like this forever, Eric was about to get up when he heard a light knock on the door.

His heart skipped a beat, and Eric asked, "Who is it?"

"Master, it's us."

Relaxing, Eric retracted his body back into the bathtub full of foam and said, "Come in."

The twins came in one after the other, Natasha was holding a whole set of clothes in her hand, and Eve was holding a small frame to put away Eric's changed clothes.

Eric looked at the movements of the two women and wondered, "I didn't say I had to change clothes, did I?"

Natasha said softly, "Mrs. ordered."

Eric still didn't understand for a while, just smiled: "You two are quite in a state, by the way, what is the girl's reaction when she hears this news?"

"Boss," Natasha paused and said, "The boss is very angry."

Natasha said it was an understatement, but Eric was able to imagine that the girl was going crazy, smiled, and said nothing. When the twins went out, he got up and rushed down, then put on his clothes and went downstairs.

It was estimated that the bathing time was really long. When I went downstairs, the lights in the villa were turned on and dinner was ready.

Feeling that Eric just rejected and disapproved of himself, but did not have the resentment that mother and son had wanted to see for many years, Olivia Wilson also felt relieved. During the dinner, several people just chatted casually, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After dinner, Eric asked the twins to host a few women and hid in the study on the grounds of work.

Maybe it was a good night's sleep on the set of "Desperate Housewives" in the afternoon. Eric didn't feel sleepy until the early hours of the night, and woke up early the next morning, just after six o'clock.

The shooting of "Iron Man" is still going on, but Eric's part is only this afternoon, so don't be in a hurry.

After getting up and taking a shower, I changed into a sports suit and walked into the gym, only to find that there were already people here.

It was the first time to stay overnight at Jiaojiao Manor, and Melanie was still a little uncomfortable. She woke up early and walked to the gym carelessly. Ni hurriedly stopped.

"Morning, you continue," Eric smiled at Melanie, stepped on the treadmill next to her, and said, "How was your rest last night?"

"Very good," Melanie nodded, looked at Eric beside her, hesitated, and said, "Eric, I think I should leave."

Eric wondered: "Huh?"

"I mean," Melanie sorted out the language and said, "Carly is your cousin. I used to worry about her being bullied. Now, I definitely don't have to worry. Anyway, even if you are bullied, this Nizi is also willing. So, I want to change a job."

Eric thought for a while, then nodded and said, "No problem, then where do you want to go, I'll help you arrange it?"

Melanie said: "My boyfriend went to San Francisco earlier this year, and I want to go there too."

"Okay, then go to Firefly Electronics. I will chat with Victor and the others today to see what positions are suitable for you," Eric said, and smiled again: "So you also have a boyfriend. "

Melanie rolled her eyes at Eric and said, "Of course, if it wasn't for taking care of Carly more, he and I would almost get married. I'm a few years older than Carly."

"Oh, I've worked hard for you all these years," Eric said. "When you get married, I'll prepare a special gift for you."

Melanie smiled and said, "What?"

Eric thought for a while and said, "How's the house? In San Francisco, you can choose whatever you want."

"Oh, I don't want it, otherwise, it is estimated that the marriage will not be possible, and he will break up with me." Melanie shook her head and said.

The two chatted for a while, and Melanie left the gym first, saying that she was going to wake Caroline.

Olivia Wilson didn't say when to leave, and Eric didn't ask. After breakfast, he took Melanie to work together, leaving Caroline at home with his aunt.

In the morning, Elizabeth, who was buried in the pile of documents to handle business affairs, suddenly appeared in New York, looking haggard, and seemed to be confused.

Seeing the girl leaning crookedly on the sofa in the reception area, Eric smiled and made coffee in person, handed it to her, and said, "How's the situation over there?"

"What else can I do?" Elizabeth still had a strong resentment in her tone, took a sip from the coffee cup, and glanced at Eric with resentment, and said, "I can't persuade, anyway, that's it. "

Eric teased with some schadenfreude: "Oh, when are you going to get married, so I can send a gift?"

Elizabeth put the coffee cup on the coffee table, rushed over and scratched on Eric, and soon leaned against him softly without moving.

Eric put his arms around her slender waist, stroked her gently, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll live in Los Angeles in the future, just don't go back."

"Hmph, I didn't want to go back," Elizabeth snorted twice, pinched Eric again, and said, "You hateful men."

Eric immediately shouted, "It's none of my business, right?"

"It's all the same," Elizabeth turned over slightly and found a more comfortable position to lean on Eric.

Eric hugged the girl and found a relatively relaxed topic, saying: "You know about "Ace Power 2", it is estimated that the box office in North America will exceed 180 million, 180 million, now you can We've made a profit, do you want us to change it back?"

"Hmph," Elizabeth hummed again, and said, "Where can I be happy? If there is no divorce over there, even if "Ace Powers 2" doesn't make a penny at the box office, I don't care."

"This kind of thing can't be stopped," Eric smiled and said, "What about you, what benefits did you get during this time, tell me now, I'm still thinking about your dowry."

"You're trying to make me angry today, right?" Elizabeth pinched Eric again dissatisfiedly, paused, and said, "Mom, let Dad make a will in advance, anyway, the matter here, in the future Probably, I have the final say, Australia and the UK, Dad will deliver it to Lachlan and James, are you satisfied now?"

Eric smiled and said: "I just think that your two younger brothers will make trouble with you at that time. Now everyone can see that the paper media may decline."

"It's not that serious, you say that all day long," Elizabeth didn't pay much attention, and said, "Besides the paper media, there is also Sky Media, which is hundreds of TV stations in Europe. Dad actually still hopes James and the two of them. Taking over, this is an obvious eccentricity."

"It's eccentric, it doesn't matter if you don't have anything," Eric added. If it was before, News Corporation was still a giant in front of Eric, but now, News Corporation is in front of the Firefly system. What it is, the assets controlled by the entire Firefly system are almost ten times that of News Corp.
